Put urgent safety questions first, then Call Choice about fit, goals, communication, and clear access. End by repeating the next step in your own words to check understanding.
Try five headings: current concern, treatment goals, communication, clear access, and continuity. Place one question under each heading. Mark the top three. This structure helps when time is limited and allows you to record which questions require another professional, insurer, or emergency resource rather than an urgent Choice answer.
